This trope describes situations where a character sets up a flash mob or similar situation for the express purpose of obscuring or otherwise facilitating a separate, secret purpose. This is often, though not exclusively, for criminal reasons. See also All Part of the Show, which is what the perpetrators of the sham are counting on witnesses to think. | |

Subverted in Quick Change. A man dressed as a clown robs a bank and takes hostages. The police chief thinks the man will dress some of the hostages as clowns and then try to escape in the middle of them, making it impossible for the police to tell which one is him. Instead, he changes into civilian clothes and escapes by pretending to be one of the hostages—but just barely, as he overlooks one spot of white greasepaint that his girlfriend (also posing as a hostage) has to quickly and discreetly rub off. | |

Batman Tim Burton's Batman (1989): Joker appears among some mimes in order to perform a murder with a deadly quill pen, and he arranges a parade with balloons full of poisonous Smilex gas. This became a recurring theme in every Burton/Schumacher Bat-film afterward, from the "giant Christmas package" publicity stunt (Batman Returns) to the high-tech company party at which Batman's true identity is electronically deduced (Batman Forever) to Poison Ivy and Bane dressing in gorilla costumes to infiltrate a tropical-themed party (Batman & Robin). You'd think Gothamites would learn to shy away from public events entirely at some point. |
